When I launch emulator in Android Studio through AVD, it keeps on having this annoying popup "unable to locate avd".
I'ved removed platform tools and reinstall it under SDK Manager->SDK Tools->Android SDK platform-tools so that its a new avd.exe but it doesnt help.
I am really clueless now how, I would like adb prints coming from the emulator to debug. How can I solve this ?
FYI, I am developing flutter on Android Studio 4.0
I had the same issue as you were facing, I have Researched the Whole Internet but found nothing useful. So, I somehow figured out the problem and fixed it, The problem is at
app/src/main/java/io/flutter/plugins/GeneratedPluginRegistrant.java
Whenever we create a new project due to some reason the Module SDK is not set up automatically. Thus the ADB manager was throwing an error 'Unable to locate AVD', which is not that fatal as the error/warning is not stopping us from launching /starting the emulator, but it is so annoying to see that pop-up box. So here is my simple and quick fix.
Solution:
Click on the project folder, tap the dropdown icon just beside it.
Now Navigate to the path below.
> android/app/src/main/java/io/flutter/plugins/GeneratedPluginRegistrant.java
Now Click on the file GeneratedPluginRegistrant.java to open it.
Once it is open, At the Top you will notice a bar that says 'Module SDK is not defined',
Now right against it, you will also see a hyper-text named 'Setup SDK', Just Click on it.
That will open a Pop-up Box with the title 'Select project SDK'.
Now select the Android Platform API and then click OK. After that being done Restart your IDE.
Your Problem will be Solved. And you will also notice that Emulator Opens up way faster than before.
NOTE:
The Above Steps has to be performed with every new flutter project.
I have attached some screenshots just follow them.
The Problem
The Below image represents the annoying Popup-box that you encounter while launching the AVD which we are going to fix.
Step 1 : Close the AVD window
Step 2: Navigate to GeneratedPluginRegistrant.java
Step 3: Look for Module SDK not Defined
Step 4: Against to Module SDK click on Setup SDK hyper-text.
Step 5: Select any Android SDK version
Step 6: Click OK
Step 7: Restart Android Studio IDE.
After Restart you wont see the Annoying popup box anymore.
I have also Uploaded a Youtube Video for you. Check that out as well.

This may seem very basic but start with a full system restart,
Where did you install the SDK's & AVD(Default Directories).
Do you have the same issue when you plug in your own Physical Device.
Ensure you have enabled USB Debugging for step 2.
If possible walk us through the installation steps so we can identify any possible errors you may have made
I've had the same issue and it took a while to figure out what's wrong, but in the end, it was a storage problem, just check if you have couple of gigs (at least 5gb) of free space left where you have your avd installed. That fixed it for me.
Try this.
Copy platform-tools address and paste it in environment variable in path.
C:\Users\viram\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\platform-tools
hope this works.
I will answer this myself as this was how it was solved.
open a native android project, and then adb works.
This looks like a bug in flutter.

after I update Android Studio from 2.3 to 3.0 version. I can not find AVD Manager in Tools/Android/AVD Manager.
I just did a fresh install and had the same issue. Solved by:
Click "Install missing platforms(s)..." in the highlighted error:
Then after the download/install, click "Intall Build Tools...":
Then after the download/install, you will see Android under Tools menu
If you have never used Android Studio Before, and do not have a Project
..Opening the AVD Manager is even trickier!!
For example, if you are installing it to use an emulator for a create-react-native-app project., but aren't otherwise using Android Studio to write or manage your app.
Here is how you can gain access to the AVD Manager.
AVD Manager is required to set-up your emulators.
Android Studio Documentation does NOT tell you how to gain access to AVD Manager. It starts at Open the AVD Manager!
I Just Need the emulator (and manager).
But I did not even have the window the OP refers to.
Nothing in the Configure menu, not Preferences (even Preferences -> Tools) gave me access to AVD Manager.
So in my case it was even more confusing to have No Direct Access AVD Manager !
Nor did I have an android folder in my create-react-native-app app, so hamdi's answer above did not work for me.
All I had was a new folder/git repo from:
create-react-native-app
My Solution
On the Android Studio Startup Screen, I choose:
Import Android Code Sample
Then choose any sample. (I choose the first example listed).
Then (after a bunch of downloading/building..), then brought up the window the OP refers to.
I then had to update gradle, as mentioned by user1449542's post above.
At that point, Muhammad Hannan's answer above was helpful !!!
I clicked the icon from the bottom image in his post -- vioa!
( Alternatively from the menu bar choose: Tools -> AVD Manager )
Better Solution:
I have since realized that the Startup Screen Option:
Start a new Android Studio Project
also works and is even quicker (less to download/build), and might not even need gradle file updates (mentioned by another post) that I had to do when I downloaded a sample project.
Just use the default settings to create a dummy project in the default location, and choose
Add No Activity.
Android Studio will "build" this dummy project, and set it up, then open the Window you need to access said icon, and/or menu bar.
In the future, this dummy project will appear on the left of Android Studio's Startup Screen.
Just click on that dummy project to re-open the window you need to access AVD Manager.
Then, as before, click that icon (or from the menu bar choose: Tools -> AVD Manager) to create/edit AVD emulators.
If you're using React Native (create react native app), you can start an emulator from the command line, once you have created an AVD emulator, and probably won't need to open Android Studio itself. (see notes below).
Be sure to start the emulator before choosing a (from the terminal window that's running your app via yarn start).
Additional Notes for reference:
To start the emulator from the command line:
emulator -avd <avd_emulator_name>
To list what emulators have been configured:
emulator -list-avds
AVD_Nexus_6P_API_23
AVD_Pixel_2_XL_API_27
AVD_Pixel_XL_API_25
So, for example, I can do this:
emulator -avd AVD_Pixel_2_XL_API_27
Additional Information
I also had to add the following lines to my .bash_profile
export JAVA_HOME=`/usr/libexec/java_home -v 10`
Note: the value between the back-ticks is what the JAVA install from my terminal replied. If you type that part into terminal by itself, it spits out the location Java was installed. If you have an different version of Java installed, just replace 10 with your version.
I then got the following path from:
- Android Studio Startup Screen -> Configure -> SDK ManagerPreferences
- Appearance & Behavior -> System Settings -> Android SDK
- Android SDK Location: /Users/sherylhohman/Library/Android/sdk
and used it as the value for adding the following line
export ANDROID_HOME=/Users/sherylhohman/Library/Android/sdk
Though I chose to write it as the following instead:
export ANDROID_HOME=$HOME/Library/Android/sdk
Finally I added:
PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/emulator
PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/tools
PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools
PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/tools/bin
PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools/adb
export PATH
I may not have needed the ...adb or 1 or more of the last PATH entries.
This was a cumulation of many internet searches, many conflicting solutions. The major missing key was accessing AVD Manager (OP's question), which finally solved the problem. This just happens to be the items I had already added to my .batch_profile along the way trying to get the android emulator working inside my create-react-native-app App!.
I found this just under the toolbar in Android Studio (v3.2):
Go to the "Event Log" tab in the bottom right corner.
There will probably be some error messages. It will provide information and links to resolve the problem. Then the buttons will not be greyed out anymore.
I'm using Android Studio 3.0 on Ubuntu I have AVD under Tools > Android > AVD . And also on the right upper corner of the screen.
EDIT :
Go to Settings and search for AVD.
If you encountered the problem when using React Native, you are probably trying to include the whole project in Android Studio. You only have to include the android folder from the React Native project. After this process, Gradle will be synchronized and AVD Manager will come back.
I had the same problem.
If you get this message: "Frameworks detected: Android framework is detected in the project" then click on it and add Android.
After that, the icons should be enabled now.
you can find SDK manager,AVD manager TOP right side on android studio version more than 3.2.0.
and if you want to run via commmand promat you can go to
cd Library/Android/sdk/tools/bin
./avdmanager list
I had the same issue in Windows 10 and saw this solution in another post ... It worked for me.
Set-up the System Environmental Variables ANDROID_HOME and ANDROID_SDK_ROOT
To do this ...
Click the windows key and start typing System.
Select it when it pops up in the menu.
Click advanced system settings
Select the advanced tab
Click Environmental Variables at the bottom
Under system variables, click new
Enter the variable name
For value, enter the the path to the Android SDK, which will most likely be: C:\Users[username]\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk
Use the same path for both variables
In Andriod Studio 3.5 its here
Following the event log to install resolves the issue
Hit ctrl+shift+a and search avd and click on it
I was not able to find AVD manager in android studio easily for Android studio version 3.1.2.In order to launch AVD manager, i had to create a sample project and then launch it from there.
I have documented all my steps here, in case any one wants to get benifitted.
How to launch AVD manager on Android Studio 3.1.2
I'm Windows 7 64-bit user and I got Android Studio problem after I update the latest version of Android Studio and SDK components..
The following SDK components were not installed: sys-img-x86-addon-google_apis-google-22 and addon-google_apis-google-22
Please help me to resolve this problem. Thank you.
I had the same issue when trying to upgrade Android Studio from 1.1 to 1.2 on Mac OS 10.10.
I solved the problem by selecting custom installation instead of standard. Also we need to select the Android SDK Platform (Lollipop 5.1).
Choose the new UI Design >> next
Just try to cancel the "Downloading Components" from upper right
corner 'X' button.
A dialog box will appear then click OK (wait a bit for first time
launch)
I uninstall Only Android studio (keep the SDK and Emulator) and then reinstall it just android studio. took me 2 minutes and my android studio work again.
I had this same problem, but I'm a Linux user.
I resolved the problem by reattempting the installation with adminstrator privileges. [For those Linux users reading this, I ran studio.sh with sudo.]
I just click 'Retry' and it's ok! Also run on Win7 64-bit.
TRY BELOW SOLUTIONS.
SOLUTION 1:
-> Run Android Studio as Administrator (this is only required for first run or when any issues arise due to automatic updates on any run in future).
Though it shows API 23 is or any other updates are not installed (and wouldn't show any 'Retry' button), BUT still the download and installation of rest of the updates would proceed (you can see the download progress incrementing even after seeing the above errors). So, DO NOT ABORT the operation.
-> At the end of installation (after rest of successful updates are installed) it would this time display the "Retry" button to retry installation for API 23 or any other versions which had failed earlier. Then click the "Retry" button, it would work this time.
This would resolve your issue with successful installation.
-> Next time onward no need to run Android studio as Administrator, unless it does any automatic updates and shows similar issues.
SOLUTION 2:
-> Alternative approach is to install any updates (which ever failed in earlier attempt) from Android SDK Manager first and then later launch Android Studio (which would not need any check for updates and any additional installations).
To install any features or updates, run Android SDK manager as administrator (run as administrator is not mandatory for this but preferred to avoid any permissions related issues) and check the required options and proceed with the installation without any issues.
SOLUTION 3:
-> If still your issue is not resolved, then try the proxy solution as suggested by others or check your internet connectivity if it's working properly or not.
*Any of the above solutions should resolve your issues.
go to c->users->[Your user account]-> remove android 1.2 and restart the android studio
when it ask to import select first radio button which is import setting from previous config
there you go fixed
I am using Windows 7 Professional and I was having same problem #Bayu Mohammad Lufty not worked for me.
I simply delete .AndroidStudio1.2 from my C:\Users\UserName\ and restart my Android studio again.
It open Android Studio perfectly!
It configured everything again in next start :)
I'm a MacOS user.
I solved it by uninstalling Android Studio and reinstalling it again.
If you want to try this link helped me a lot.
Uninstall Android Studio MacOS (terminal)
When you are installing Android Studio, under Install type do not use standard setting, use custom setting instead, and check all the option boxes in the next step.
i have solve my same problem
i update my android studio, and i choose not to import my setting from my previous version than that problem appear.
than i realize that i have 2 AndroidStudio folder on my windows account (.AndroidStudio and .AndroidStudio1.2) and on my new .AndroidStudio1.2 folder there are no other.xml file.
than i copy other.xml file from C:\Users\my windows account name.AndroidStudio\config\options to C:\Users\my windows account name.AndroidStudio1.2\config\options
and that how i solve my problem.
I'm using UBUNTU and I got this same error. I restarted the set up using sudo and did a custom install. This solved my problem!
--More Specific--
re-installed using # sudo ./studio.sh
then I made sure to click "Custom Install"
then I made sure all packages were selected.
And I got this message Android virtual device Nexus_5_API_22_x86 was successfully created
I just run:
C:\Users[Username]\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\SDK Manager.exe
Install SDK Platform Android M Preview
And run Android Studio again.
It's working for me :D
When this error occured I first clicked retry for few times and waited for 2 minutes and clicked 'retry' then it installed without any error.(for 2 minutes I was searching to solve this problem online).
I was getting an "out of space" error, which left me scratching my head as I had plenty of disk space, until I realized that it ran out of space on /tmp, which on Arch Linux is mounted on a tmpfs with a size limit.
I'm just getting started with Android development and was setting up Android Studio on my mac. (Following the instructions here)
When trying to run a simple hello world application and trying to learn my way around the IDE, I noticed the "Android Device monitor" disabled. Any ideas how I can fix this? This should be important when debugging apps hence the question.
I'm not sure what other info might be important for this question. I did make a few changes in the SDK manager, but they were just installing more components on top of what was already installed.
Once you open a valid project, the buttons become enabled.
Note that, even if the option is disabled, you can still bring up the Device Monitor by running the monitor.bat file in the tools directory of the Android SDK. (On Windows you can just double click the file or run it from a cmd shell.)
This problem occurs to me today. And I just click the button on the pic.
Problem solved.
and If this didn't work ,you can check this list in your Android Studio
1.Tools->Android->Enable ADB Integration
2.If you open DDMS, CLOSE it .
If these didn't work too, check the official file.

I'm building an app in Android Studio (beta) 0.8.9, though I can't seem to get emulators running. I've made a Nexus 4 and 5 emulator through the options, but I can't seem to get them started. It shows this in the Run App tab.
Waiting for device.
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-studio\sdk\tools\emulator.exe" -avd smallEmulator -netspeed full -netdelay none
So either it's not starting up, or I'm just an impatient SOB.
I've also downloaded Genymotion and started up an emulator through that, but now Android Studio doesn't recognize the emulator anymore. I try to run my app and check for any running devices, but it doesn't show up, despite the fact that it actually is running.
I've added the Genymotion plug-in, to no avail. No idea what went wrong.
I also have a One Plus One, which I'm not sure how I can debug on that. They don't seem to have drivers for that and haven't immediatly found anything on Google so far.
Any help would be much appreciated.
EDIT: I fixed my problem. I used Genymotion to fix the problem. The running emulator wasn't turning up, because the android SDK's weren't linked to one another. Genymotion and Android Studio used different ones. So I edited Genymotion's settings to use the same one of AS and now it works!
First of all, update android studio. Check if the emulators run from the AVD manager outside Android Studio, I mean by starting it up manually from ur SDK installation folder (AVD Manager.exe) . Check the path of ur emulator in .ini file in C:>Users>user-name >.android>avd. U can make a system variable for ur SDK folder "ANDROID_SDK_HOME" and place the .android folder's content there (the whole .android folder). Sometimes "resetting the adb" after u run emulator may work.
There may be an easier fix than what was previously mentioned. Try opening Android Studio, go to File, Settings, plugins. Select the “Browse Repositories” button at the bottom of the page. Scroll down the displayed page to find “Genymotion”; select it and install it.
When it has installed, restart Android Studio. Again, go to File, Settings, then go to Other Settings. Genymotion should show up as an option. There will be a field that asks for the path to the Genymotion folder.
Mine was: C:\Program Files\Genymobile\Genymotion. At any rate, enter the path, click Apply or OK and Android Studio should recognize Genymotion (You may need to restart AS once again). Now you should have a small red icon on Android Studios tool bar; when you hover over it a pop up that identifies it as “Genymotion Device Manager”. Click on it, select a device to load, click start and allow the virtual device to start completely. Now run your Android Studio project; the Android Studio “Device Chooser” will pop up. You should see the Genymotion device you’d started previously, select it and you’re good.
Hope this helps…
I am a beginner to android development,I have downloaded adt-bundle-windows-x86_64 with android 4.2 and started the eclipse version(Android developer tools) provided with it.But when I click finish after filling all the details in new android application dialog box,the finish button doesn't seem to respond at all.At the first click on finish button an application is created but no java files in it and the dialog box stays still.At least the android 4.2 library is not in the application.src is also empty.
I'm working with Windows 7 64bit and JDK 1.6 64bit.
Any idea on solving this?

Eclipse is not that much robust IDE.If nothing can solve your issue.try to restart Eclipse and your Computer.
and yes,before restarting just update the packages.
Go to SDK Manager, and install available updates for following packages.
Android SDK Tools
Android SDK Platform-tools
After updating,it will be look like this,
I just got mine past this bug; hopefully yours will fix too?
On the screens with menus to select from, where one item is greyed (selected?) as default:
Deliberately click the item, to ACTUALLY select it (it turns dark blue or something).
Mine apparently got caught up on the "Make activity" (or whatever) page, and until I went back and assumed that the default had failed to select it, I was unable to choose finish (even though it clicked, looked as though it was going to do something, and then didn't go).
